Application to 
Modern 
Design 
Any of these little borders can be used 
just as they are, or working on the same lines 
use modern ornaments. To show what can 
be done in this way we have a plate, cup and 
saucer border made by a pupil, the first half 
of design using the actual Greek ornament, the second half, 
substituting a modern design on the same line. 
Any desired color scheme can be used for the 
modern application, but the purely Greek de- 
sign should be treated in Greek colors. 
We have also a vase decorated according 
to Greek methods, the ornaments being mod- 
ernized. We suggest the following as an 
effective treatment- for the vase design. 
Color Scheme: Blue, celedon or green, 
and gold. Figures painted in natural colors 
and outlined with fine black lines, use some 
ochre and brown in draperies where the gold 
background should show through, the string of 
pearls in white enamel, a touch of scarlet in 
diamond shape ornament and "tear drop" 
pendants, also in centre of ornament at the 
top of the vase. The scarf drapery in white 
outlined in gold. Handles, gold. A banding 
wheel would aid materially on all designs made 
in Greek methods as so many horizontal lines 
are used. 
We have been hoping that some of our 
readers would muster the courage to try some 
designing from the motifs in these articles, but 
as yet, except from pupils, none have been re- 
ceived. We look forward to the time when 
the editors and subscribers will work together 
like teacher and pupils and so bring out the 
best in both.
